The Radical Challenge : The Response of Social Democracy

1st edition. 168pp. Laminated card covers (very gentle shelf wear). Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. Lord Kilmarnock of the SDP Chief Whip from 1983 to 1986. In this volume he edits an impressive array of authoritative and talented witnesses bringing a distinctive voice to the Social Democratic Party, then the new party in British Politics. It draws links with European Social Democracy, the legacy of Adam Smith, Utilitarianism, Keynes and revisionism with the emergence and development of the SDP, giving insight into the motives and aims of the Gang of Four and, perhaps unwittingly, illuminating the source of its short life. 8vo.
